Hello and Welcome:D

That sounds like a pretty reasonable price,but as usual you have to judge a car on condition etc as low mileage isn't always the sign of a great car.

As you've said loads of information in here for you.

Good luck.

thats so true about the mileage buddy the dealer claims its mint and is supposedly a reputable dealer....im 80% sure im going to go tomorow

if i do guys, what shall i be looking out for and what questions should i ask

being that its a performance engine i dont know if the previous owner how he drove it and whether he done regualr oil change....

pleaseee tell me guys im so desprate to buy this but i dont wanna buy it if i can spot potential problems...

thank you for your reply fella

ooo wrightrs........you know i just read in you signature....Nurburgring Trip Organiser

only the other day i said to myself no i will get a vrs becuase i so badly wanna go to the ring, if i get it mate id love to be at the ring!!!!!! that would be awesome!

Well if its done 10K miles it will be due for its first service now,as long as its not on the extended service pattern.

If it hasn't had its first service get that done in the price,and if its an 04 plate it will be needing its 1st MOT soon so get them to carry one out to make sure there are no problems on that front.

Otherwise arrange a AA/RAC check of the car.

And HIP it yourself aswell.

Check the front seats for fraying on the base,ensure all the recalls have bben done on the car.

Is it a purchase from a Skoda Dealership?

Otherwise with such low mileage i would imagine it should be a very good condition.

And yes the Nurburgring is the best place,am going 5 or 6 times this year and am currently looking into buying a place nearby.

hey thanks for the info

yes a very good point about the mot and service....

wow getting a place near the nuringburg....very nice definatly well worth it go for it mate!!

Exchange & Mart : Skoda Octavia 1.8T VRS Hatchback 2004, 10,241 miles,

That seems a good price. I purchased a 53 reg VRS WRC in Nov 06 with 43k for 7250.

This included a 12 month warranty and FSH.
